#13. Blue-Sky Floods — When the Mountain, Not the Weather, Breaks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No rain. No earthquake. No rising river – just a clear Himalayan morning, and then a wall of water, rock and ice that ran a hundred kilometers down the Nepal-China border. We explore the geology behind the blue-sky flood: why a mountain can let go in perfect weather, how a warming climate is loosening the world's high slopes, why flood warning systems built to watch rain and rivers never saw it coming – and why the same physics could put a wave in a river valley in Alaska or Appalachia.
